City council approves sending surplus IT equipment to auction house
Summary
Lawrenceburg City Council approved taking obsolete city IT equipment to an auction house after staff said items could not be sold on GovDeals; the council asked departments to identify other surplus items for a future sale.
The Lawrenceburg City Council on May 19 authorized staff to take surplus IT equipment to an auction house after the city's IT director was unable to move the items on the online surplus marketplace GovDeals.
Mayor Kelly Malone said the devices are mostly five years old or older and that some surveillance cameras are older models for which replacement parts are difficult to obtain. Council members asked whether libraries or the community center could use any items; staff said most items are outdated and unsuitable for reuse but that department heads will continue to check for reuse opportunities.
Council members approved the motion by voice vote and asked staff to compile a fuller list of surplus items from all departments for a future auction sale.
